iRTL streams are all corrupt or buffering is not handled... making iRLT as a whole unusefull.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Did you search "All Issues" and not just the "Open Issues" to see if your
problems was already solved or discussed before?
iRTL

What channel are you trying to watch?
all iRTL channels

What episode are you trying to watch?
all programs within iRTL

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
after 10 minutes each of the programs are unwatchable, since xbmc keeps 
buffering?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  start episode with a length of more then 10 minutes
2. open xbmc codec info
3. after 10 minutes, bandwith stays the same but aq and vq go down steadily 
every vew seconds.

What version of XBMC are you using? On what operating system?
dahrma rc2, ubuntu karmic (both libmms 0.4 and 0.6), apple tv (with crystal hd 
and without crystal hd).

Please provide any additional information below.

I have exact the same problem with ALL IRTL programs. Other streams work 
(Youtube, nick jr live....) Only these IRTL channels do not work. If it is on 
all channels, is it still a corrupt stream? When it works for other streaming 
plugins is it buffer settings? I honnestly do not know exept that  irtl is 
totally useless as a whole since it doesn't work.  I have seen it has been 
added as issue and also being closed without further investigation. I hop this 
call will make you reconsider and
look a bit further.

 My network is 120 mbit and still I can see buffers clearing to 0 after which the are red until full, then they go down to zero, repeating and resulting in a buffer window every few seconds.

Please ATTACH a complete uzg.log or uzgplugin.log.

I saw your last comment... maybe things will change with a new future libmms.

I hope so. If I use XBMC on Xbox, all is fine, but on Linux it's just a pain in 
the 'behind'

Sorry for my bad English 

I had the same problem on my linux ubuntu 10.10 system
This is what i did.
Use externalplayer for mp4 

Make a file playercorefactory.xml with an editor (gedit)

make it look like this 

<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="totem" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>/usr/bin/totem</filename>
<args>--fullscreen</args>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
<hidecursor>true</hidecursor>
<forceontop>true</forceontop>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="mp4" filename="*.mp4" player="totem"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

Save the file in your /home/user/.xbmc/userdata/
For your plugins install ubuntu-restricted-extras 
Rtl *.mp4 file will play nice in external player totem

In terninal
cd ~/.xbmc/userdata/
gedit playercorefactory.xml
copy and paste in gedit:

<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="totem" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>/usr/bin/totem</filename>
<args>--fullscreen</args>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
<hidecursor>true</hidecursor>
<forceontop>true</forceontop>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="mp4" filename="*.mp4" player="totem"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

save your file  "playercorefactory.xml"

Thank you for your hints on solving this, it almost worked, but didn't :(
Because of the way the appletv is booted and it starts xbmc it somehow did not 
work for me.
I installed xbmc as described by using 
"http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_install_a_Miminal_Ubuntu_and_XBMC_w
ith_sound_over_HDMI_on_the_AppleTV" as a guidline 
(not by the letter; I used a newer ubuntu, installed netatalk etc)
In this tutorial the way to start XBMC is :  "exec xbmc --standalone"  
(.xsession).

I tried your suggestion installing totem; I installed 
'ubuntu-restricted-extras' AND 'totem' since it was still missing after the 
install in Karmic. Then I created the playercorefactory.xml in my 
.xbmc/userdata directory.

Now, in xbmc when I selected an item from irtl, a quick blink of a white 
rectangle popped up and disapeared   instantaniously. I think it has to do with 
the '--standalone' option in which xbmc is started, but I do not know how to 
fix that?

If you have any more suggestions :) ?

With regards,

Jan Faber

(choppy, but works)

I guess it is the internal memory but I do not know your system.
There's one thing you can try, but is not the way it is described in xbmc.
"http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_use_an_External_Player_for_media_pl
ayback"
The file /usr/share/xbmc/system/playercorefactory.xml
Backup this file or rename it in case it goes wrong.
cut the the file in  ~/.xbmc/userdata/playercorefactory.xml and paste it into
/usr/share/xbmc/system
